Publicly available scripts for building Debian Gnome and KDE from base Debian

[CloisteredNeuron]

I’ve found there is a lack of light weight wayland desktop environments which run well in VirtualBox. As Gnome and KDE on wayland function well on VirtualBox a lighter weight version of each would be useful. I’d like to experiment with building a base Debian install up to Gnome/KDE versus uninstalling what may be non-critical components to produce leaner versions of Gnome and KDE. Are there any publicly available documents/scripts on how Debian versions of Gnome and KDE are built?

Even better than this, are there stripped down versions of Gnome and KDE with wayland support out there?

Thanks!

There's more than one way to install both GNOME and KDE in Debian - just not with the installer

F'rinstance if you wanted to install KDE on your GNOME machine you'd install task-kde-desktop using apt or tasksel which will give you everything but there are lighter packages available. You could install kde-plasma-desktop or just plasma-desktop instead.

GNOME works the same way; you've got task-gnome-desktop at the top and gnome-shell as the most minimal package that will give you a working GNOME desktop.

I run openbox so I don't install any desktop environment. If using a netinstall image Debian will connect to the network used during install even if you uncheck *all* the boxes in the installer. When I install I just install ssh server and standard system utilities and build from there. I've done one install where I unchecked everything, I wouldn't recommend it. Most of the standard system utilities are stuff you'd end up installing at some point anyway

[CloisteredNeuron]

Thanks Wizard,

These are great suggestions. I created a new Debian 12.5 stable VM only installing "standard system utilities". Based upon your suggestion for labwc I ensured I installed all the dependencies from:

https://packages.debian.org/bookworm/plasma-desktop

I wasn't for sure what to do with libqt5gui5 and libqt5quick5 and just installed them versus libqt5gui5-gles and libqt5quick5-gles.

After getting this installed do you know how to get plasma-desktop to run? Trying something simple like running plasma-desktop, like labwc, from the console does not work.

I've included the two install commands for anyone interested in installing plasma-desktop. Quite a few dependencies there.

sudo apt install libqt5gui5 libqt5quick5

sudo apt install plasma-desktop accountsservice breeze kactivitymanagerd kde-cli-tools kded5 kio kpackagetool5 layer-shell-qt libaccounts-qt5-1 libc6 libgcc-s1 libgcc-s1 libglib2.0-0 libibus-1.0-5 libkaccounts2 libkf5activities5 libkf5activitiesstats1 libkf5authcore5 libkf5baloo5 libkf5bookmarks5 libkf5codecs5 libkf5completion5 libkf5configcore5 libkf5configgui5 libkf5configwidgets5 libkf5coreaddons5 libkf5crash5 libkf5dbusaddons5 libkf5globalaccel-bin libkf5globalaccel5 libkf5guiaddons5 libkf5i18n5 libkf5iconthemes5 libkf5itemviews5 libkf5jobwidgets5 libkf5kcmutils5 libkf5kcmutilscore5 libkf5kdelibs4support5 libkf5kiocore5 libkf5kiofilewidgets5 libkf5kiogui5 libkf5kiowidgets5 libkf5newstuffcore5 libkf5notifications5 libkf5notifyconfig5 libkf5package5 libkf5plasma5 libkf5plasmaquick5 libkf5quickaddons5 libkf5runner5 libkf5service-bin libkf5service5 libkf5solid5 libkf5sonnetcore5 libkf5sonnetui5 libkf5widgetsaddons5 libkf5windowsystem5 libkf5xmlgui5 libkworkspace5-5 libnotificationmanager1 libpackagekitqt5-1 libphonon4qt5-4 libprocesscore9 libqt5concurrent5 libqt5core5a libqt5dbus5 libqt5network5 libqt5qml5 libqt5quickwidgets5 libqt5sql5 libqt5waylandclient5 libqt5widgets5 libqt5x11extras5 libqt5xml5 libscim8v5 libstdc++6 libtaskmanager6abi1 libwayland-client0 libx11-6 libx11-xcb1 libxcb-keysyms1 libxcb-record0 libxcb-xkb1 libxcb1 libxcursor1 libxi6 libxkbcommon0 libxkbfile1 oxygen-sounds phonon4qt5 plasma-desktop-data plasma-framework plasma-integration plasma-workspace polkit-kde-agent-1 qml-module-org-kde-draganddrop qml-module-org-kde-kcoreaddons qml-module-org-kde-kquickcontrols qml-module-org-kde-kquickcontrolsaddons qml-module-org-kde-kwindowsystem qml-module-org-kde-qqc2desktopstyle qml-module-org-kde-solid qml-module-qt-labs-folderlistmodel qml-module-qt-labs-settings

You're gonna need to install a display manager as I don't think plasma-desktop installs one by default. If you're running KDE it'd probably be best to install sddm.

[CloisteredNeuron]

Hi Wizard,

sddm worked great with plasma-desktop. Thanks! When I logged into plasma-desktop using the wayland option on the login screen, xinput was not able to detect keypresses so thumbs up. plasma-desktop uses less memory than GNOME Flashback but GNOME Flashback did not have a wayland option on the login screen so that comparison is incomplete - maybe the GNOME Flashback version uses less memory. GNOME Flashback xinput shows keypresses being captured from terminal, calc, and browser and I see Xorg in htop so it is not defaulting to wayland. One nice feature of GNOME Flashback is it is more responsive than plasma-desktop in VirtualBox on my notebook. Do you know if there is a setting to tell GNOME Flashback to use wayland?

Thanks for all the great feedback. The tasksel app alone saves so much time as I have a fully configured base install which I clone in under a minute. The base install has VirtualBox extensions in place, a higher resolution console, larger fonts, shared folder with the host OS, and aliases. It is so very nice to easily read the screen and copy and paste from host files and not wait for the base system install for each desktop install.

And pointing out plasma-desktop gave me the idea to look to its dependencies as a source of packages which could potentially be removed, at the cost of functionality. And this led me to wonder if the tasksel option for GNOME Flashback is installing an equivalent to plasma-desktop. Such Fun! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Glad you're having a good time

As you've learned Debian's installer is ridiculously flexible. Since GNOME Flashback is based on GNOME 3 I think it's pretty unlikely it's gonna run under Wayland.

After preventing several GNOME components from starting, HTOP Mem usage dropped from 980M to 439M. Services were masked and apps were moved. A forum member suggested wiki.archlinux.org/title/XDG_Autostart ("It's called freedesktop autostart, they're probably in /etc/xdg/autostart"). Several app moves are probably unnecessary as I masked the services which call the apps after moving the apps. I have KDE in the 500MB range and will be scripting out those system mods as well. GNOME is probably going to be more memory efficient and I’m guessing more stable as it has had more time to work through wayland issues, but it is so non-standard with window manipulation (second status bar, at bottom, required to see running apps, no buttons to minimize and maximize windows, and feels like most tasks just take more clicks). My guess is GNOME is so weird that once you know the why behind what they do it is actually more efficient but SO non-standard. Using KDE I really came to appreciate the Konsole terminal. Konsole has a great toolbar and a feature to stop the processing of an app like HTOP so you can capture information. The KDE start menu where you can literally fill the screen with all your favorites is SO efficient. Click the WIN key and ALL the apps you use are displayed. So very nice.

UPDATED SCRIPTS BELOW

[CloisteredNeuron]

Here is an updated version of my scripts to block GNOME apps and services leading to an HTOP RES of 389MB from a default of 980MB. After running the scripts and rebooting I was able to start all installed by default apps, but discovered the GNOME Software app does NOT display installed or searched for apps. GNOME does come with Synaptic which is broken in wayland unless you run it from a CLI as /usr/sbin/synaptic (no root required). In this mode Synaptic won't install apps but you can identify them and install them with apt. The last two blocks of the first script can be commented/uncommented to allow the GNOME Software app to run at the cost of using an additional 90MB of RAM or save 90MB of RAM and keep it disabled.

My method to keep apps from starting is moving them into a maybelater directory in the app’s current directory. There must be a better way. If I could modify the configuration which starts the gnome-software app I could leave it in /usr/bin and when the GNOME Software app is started by the user only then would it consume extra memory. Basically I’ve identified noncritical apps and services but there must be configuration files which cause the apps and services to start when the system boots.

This is the latest version of my GNOME scripts, which I use to reduce RAM usage. While I see RAM usage of 335MB, HTOP results below, I often see reboot and power on RAM usage around 355MB. The scripts WILL break apps noted in the comments, and I am sure other apps as well. I have destroyed about 50 VMs while testing these two scripts, so I absolutely would NOT use these scripts on anything but a sacrificial VM with NO data. Note the first script purges several apps I do not use.
